Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] A message display control device for displaying a message, in which the message is erased only when the message erase key is pressed, and in other cases, the message is redisplayed to surely display the message to the user. For the purpose of transmission, the display output and the message are configured to be displayed in the same screen in a separated manner, and the displayed message is erased by confirming and pressing the message in the displayed screen. The message delete key is provided to allow the message to be displayed on the screen again during the process of displaying the image when the image is displayed on the screen unless the message delete key is pressed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a message display control device that displays a message, and reliably conveys a message intended by the issuer to a terminal user. [Problems to be Solved by Conventional Techniques and Inventions] Conventionally, when a message is transmitted, as shown in FIG. 3, the message output process 15 is performed by the terminal input / output control 13-1 under its control program. There was only a means to make the same output request as 13-2. For this reason, at the same time that the output result of the processing program 13-2 is deleted, the incoming message is also deleted, and there is a problem that the message cannot be reliably transmitted to the user of the terminal.
To explain in an easy-to-understand manner, in FIG. 3, when there is an output request from the message output processing program 15, the terminal input / output control program 13-1 outputs the message to the display 11 in the same manner as the request from the processing program 13-2. To do. On the other hand, the terminal input / output control program 13-1 does not distinguish between the output request of the processing program 13-2 and the output request of the message processing program 15 when there is a deletion request from the processing program 13-2. Will be erased together with. Therefore, for example, if the processing program 13-2 makes a deletion request immediately after the message output processing program 15 makes a message output request, the message will be deleted before the user confirms the message, and the message will be surely sent. There is a problem that it cannot be transmitted to the user of the terminal. Further, when one terminal is used for a plurality of processes (for example, when a twin session (front) 13 and a twin session (back) 14 are provided), a message output request to the currently connected process (for example, A message output request to the terminal input / output control 13-1 of the twin session (front) 13 must be performed, and the request is issued when the connection is asynchronously switched to another process (for example, the twin session (back) 14). If the process is not performed, no message is displayed. In order to display the message without fail, if a message display request is sent to all the shared processes, the user will be confused because the message that the user only needs to see once is displayed many times. To make it easy to understand,
In the figure, in order to display it without fail, if a message output request is issued to the terminal input / output control programs 13-1 and 14-1 of both sessions, the user must confirm the message before switching the session. When I did it, I got to see the same message twice, which was confusing. It is an object of the present invention to erase a message only when the message erase key is pressed, and to redisplay it in other cases so that the message is reliably transmitted to the user. [Means for Solving the Problem] Means for solving the problem will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, the display 1 is configured such that a display output area for displaying a processing result and the like and a message area for displaying a message are displayed in a separated manner. The message deletion key 2-1 is used to delete a message displayed in the message area on the display 1 when the user confirms the message. The twin session (front) 3 and the twin session (back) 4 perform different business processes, and share one display 1 to display one of the process results. The terminal connection control 5 notifies the terminal output controls 3-1 and 4-1 of a message output request and causes the message to be displayed in the message area of the display 1. [Operation] As shown in FIG. 1, according to the present invention, the terminal connection control 5 executes a message output request for displaying a message on the display 1, for example, terminal input / output control of a twin session (table) 3 during processing. In response to the notification to 3-1, the message area on the display 1 is redisplayed unless the message deletion key 2-1 is pressed. In addition, when the twin session (front) 3 being executed is switched to the twin session (back) 4, the terminal connection control 5 is the original twin session (front).
The message displayed by 3 is collected, the message output request is notified to the switched new twin session (back) 4, and the message is displayed again unless the message deletion key 2-1 is pressed. I have to. Therefore, the message is always displayed in the message area on the display 1 unless the message deletion key 2-1 is pressed, and even if the process is switched,
By always displaying it, it becomes possible to reliably transmit the message to the user. Embodiment Next, the configuration and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be sequentially described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. In FIG. 1, the display 1 displays a display output area for displaying a processing result and the like and a message area for displaying a message in a separated manner. The keyboard 2 is composed of a message erasing key 2-1 according to the present invention, a switching key 2-2 for alternately switching between a twin session (front) 3 and a twin session (back) 4, and the like. The twin session (front) 3 and the twin session (rear) 4 are composed of terminal input / output controls 3-1, 4-1 and processing programs 3-2, 4-2. By pressing the switching key 2-2. You can switch to either
It performs different business processes. The result of this business process is displayed in the display output area on one display 1. The terminal connection control 5 notifies the terminal output controls 3-1 and 4-1 of the message output request to display the message in the message area of the display 1, and the switch key 2-2.
When is pressed, the message is collected when the process is switched from the twin session (front) 3 to the twin session (back) 4, and a message output request is notified to a new process. Next, the operation of the configuration of FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, the figure shows a state in which a message is re-output (re-displayed). This is the terminal I / O control (table)
As shown in the flow chart at the bottom of 3-1, when the key input from the keyboard 2 in FIG. 1 is other than the key input from the message deletion key 2-1 (in the case of NO), the message is re-input. It is designed to output. This re-output causes the message to be read from the buffer and re-displayed in the message area on the display 1, as indicated by the arrow in the figure. Further, in the display output area on the display 1, screen information corresponding to a key input is read out from, for example, a buffer and displayed. If the message delete key 2-1 is pressed (YES), the message is not displayed again. In the figure, the switching key 2-2 in the keyboard 2 of FIG. 1 is pressed, and, for example, switching from the twin session (front) 3 to the twin session (back) 4 is instructed, and in response to this, the terminal connection control 5 Indicates that the message is collected. The figure shows a state in which a message output request is issued to the terminal input / output control 4-1 of the new twin session (back) 4 switched in the figure. In the figure, the terminal input / output control 4-1 which has newly received the message output request reads the message from the buffer and displays it on the display 1 in the same manner as in the figure until the message deletion key 2-1 is pressed. It shows the state of re-displaying in the message area. By the above control, even if the processing is switched, the message is repeatedly displayed again unless the user confirms the message displayed in the message area on the display 1 and presses the message deletion key 2-1. Becomes After the message deletion key 2-1 is pressed once, even if the process is switched to another process, the message is deleted (for example, the message in the buffer in FIG. 2 is deleted), and therefore the message is displayed again. Never. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, as long as the message deletion key 2-1 is not pressed, even if the process is switched, the message is always re-displayed repeatedly in the message area on the display 1 of the terminal. Since the configuration is adopted, the message can be reliably transmitted to the user. Moreover, when the message deletion key 2-1 is pressed once, even if the process is switched, the message is deleted (for example, the message in the buffer in FIG. 2 is deleted), and therefore the message may be displayed again. No, there is no confusion.
